Yeah, I've been debating that layout.   The old layout (a list) didn't
work so well because there's the automatically generated list on the
right, so it became redundant.

I'll work on a better layout.

Just FYI, this here is a work in progress:

http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxModulesByExample

This isn't a replacement for a regular index, but I think it will prove
useful for people looking not only for module documentation, but a more
visual/contextual index layout.

Thanks!  It wasn't nearly as bad as I feared (once I'd gutted the
default skin).   I really wanted to avoid the "we tossed up a MediaWiki
site in a hurry" look.

I'll work on this.  I tend to agree with you.
